Adelaja B.A., . (1996) The agronomic characteristics and production practices for exportable tropical fruits in Nigeria. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

The six agroeco10gica1 zones of Nigeria favour an all year round production of a wide range of tropical fruits including Plantain Banana Mango Papaya Pineapple Guava and a host of other important but less cultivated species. Production at the moment is mainly in backyard gardens with occasional occurence of medium to large-scale farms. Soil climate and improved agrotechniques that could ensure an all year round production of exportable fruits have been developed especially if irrigation can be provided. An alternate method of encouraging large-scale production through an aggregation of small-scale holder scheme is presented and discussed.
